Ripped from the Headlines

Like one TV show states "Ripped from the Headlines" here is one ripped from the book "How to Turn Off Your Customers".

Frontier Airlines announced today that they will charge for carry on bags.  I know they weren't the first or probably won't be the last but customers need to start a revolt.  What's next?  I think they will start charging by the pound.  "Step on the scale Mam".  "Oops your 10 pounds over the limit, that will be an extra $50" 

When fuel prices really started to escalate we could put some rationale behind the "surcharges" and rate increases.  Fuel (including jet fuel) has stabilized.  Airlines buy their fuel on the futures market and these rate rapes are getting old.  We need to let them know by boycotting airlines that continue to increase fares through the use of "extra" charges.
